Principal Wang was completely stunned.
He pointed at Jiang Cheng and asked, "Was this part of your plan?"
Jiang Cheng tilted her head slightly.
"Yes... and no."
"I guessed some factories would be interested, but I didn’t expect the textile factory to be the first."
"But I think just sending people over isn’t enough."
Principal Wang’s mouth fell open, he had no idea what to say.
"Not enough? What else do you want to do?"
Jiang Cheng blinked and said to Principal Wang, "Why don’t you, Principal Wang, accompany me to the food factory?"
Principal Wang was completely bewildered.
Weren’t they talking about the textile factory? How did it relate to the food factory now?
Jiang Cheng didn’t explain, she just invited Principal Wang to join her.
Principal Wang was very curious, so he straightforwardly followed her.
The two of them made their way to the food factory.
With the help of her classmates’ network, Jiang Cheng and Principal Wang entered the office of the food factory director.
"Director Lu... we’re from night school... promoting the anti-trafficking play..."
After Jiang Cheng finished talking, the other party remained unmoved, exhibiting strong composure.
Jiang Cheng wasn’t anxious at all, she took out a makeshift invitation from her backpack.
"This is the invitation. We weren’t planning to bother you, it’s just that Factory Director Fang from the textile factory said he wanted to watch the play."
"We’re honestly quite flattered in night school, but with the textile factory’s proactive support, we couldn’t refuse."
"It wouldn’t be right to ignore other factories in the city, so we came by today."
Director Lu snorted coldly in his heart.
That old sly fox Fang is full of scheming.
If he bothers to attend a play, there must be some benefit.
"Mr. Jiang, our food factory will participate on time."
...
After leaving the food factory, Principal Wang was drenched in sweat, this kind of task really wasn’t for just anyone.
The textile factory director would attend, even though he hadn’t said anything concrete; you really dared to say it.
Principal Wang’s gaze fell on Jiang Cheng, seeing her calm, collected, and carefree demeanor.
When Director Lu didn’t immediately agree, he had actually planned to give up and leave.
"Jiang Cheng, how did you know mentioning Factory Director Fang would make Director Lu agree?"
"The food factory and textile factory have been playing table tennis for four years, losing every year."
"?"
Principal Wang couldn’t react for a moment, then heard Jiang Cheng say, "In the city’s factory profit ranking, textile factory is third, food factory fourth."
"Everyone knows the top three, but who cares about the fourth?"
Principal Wang’s jaw practically dropped to the floor.
"How did you know this?"
"Reading newspapers, chatting, it’s not some hidden secret, there’s nothing hard about knowing it."
Jiang Cheng spoke nonchalantly, but Principal Wang was greatly astonished.
The information was there to see, but the underlying insights weren’t obvious to just anyone, let alone utilizing them.
"But how did you say the director would come himself? They only said they’d send someone."
Jiang Cheng gave a confident smile and said, "No worries, if Director Lu comes, Factory Director Fang will definitely come."
At the same time stunned, Principal Wang thought to himself: Do you perhaps have a mind as intricate as a seven-knotted basket!
You’ve really exploited these relationships thoroughly.
Jiang Cheng humbly said, "It’s just average performance."
While Principal Wang was speechless, he also felt a bit addicted and asked, "Where to now?"
"The meat packing plant."
"Using the same approach as before?"
Jiang Cheng shook her head.
"Principal, you need to know a golden saying."
"What is it?"
Jiang Cheng feigned seriousness and paused for a few seconds before saying, "Each monkey has its own way of being tied."

"That makes sense, we’ll hold a meeting as soon as we’re back."
